TurboR Performance Tunes

[j.e.1975]

Anyone have a experience with the TurboR tunes. I'm considering a SM tune for my 998. 225 or 240 tune. They include the gauge flash with the tune which is nice.

Thanks

TurboR used to use Hurricane tunes that are obviously well tested and true.

Get the SM tune bundle it's the same price. 225, 240 and 270.

After a research, I'm confused how these companies advertise similar tunes with some requiring clutching and some don't. I understand the rpm is higher with the tunes but if I add 40 hp on the same weights, that should raise rpm by more than 200 to 300 rpm. That's what I would expect with a 225 hp tune.
Seems I don't have all the details about the different tunes.

One way to solve the increase in rpm (due to tune) is to change the drive belt to an Ultimax XS825 (yamaha only). This belt will offset the rpm increase, in most cases.
Otherwise you'll need to move to adjustable clutch weights, like Dalton or similar.

I understand clutching for rpm. I don't understand how a tune claiming a 40 hp increase doesn't need a change to clutching. This isn't directed at the TurboR tune. It's the TD tune. I expected 40 hp would be outside the stock clutching with a 200 to 300 rpm gain.
I must be missing something.

If everything is working as it should, and rpms are correct, what would you expect to change because of the 40hp increase?
Just like any other sled you can always make improvements.
IMHO, tune it and take it for a ride to see what's What.

 

[STAIN]

what sled are you riding? Cat or Yamaha? What tune are you going to use?

First, most say stocks weights are a bit to heavy (RPM's are a bit low, often 86-8700).
Second, stock RPM is supposed to be 87-8800.
Third, most of today's tunes they want 88-8900.
Adding 40hp you should be close with stock weights. If not, as Doc says, install XS825 belt and your rpm's will drop a couple hundred.
Test it and do what it needs.

Exactly.

Clutch spinning a few hundred rpm higher generate more force with no other changes.

Devils advocate here and don't kill me on this one! I think the concern for the guys going to a tune for the first time is going down the rabbit hole of "now what will I need". We have all been there and yes, as we all know more power comes at a cost.
My advice for guys that want power without spending additional money is just quit now because power is pricey and It just might be the most costly addiction there is.
If you are worried that you might need new weights in the primary due to a new tune you have come to the wrong rodeo. These sleds will provide the most comfort and power per $$ on the planet, but wick them up be prepared to open up your wallet. I'm willing to bet the average cost of upgrades to a brand new sled for the vast majority of patrons here that post and contribute is $5k and some approach well over $10k within the first 2 years of ownership.
People need to know what they are getting into and have a little foresight going forward. I think it's good that the OP is asking now because most don't and before they know it their winter toy they just bought costs as much as their 1st mortgage!

End of rant, how fast do you want to go? $$$$$ LOL

Agree...luckily for the OP is that a 240 tune will increase power output without breaking the bank. And that the only thing that may be necessary, to take full advantage of the new found power is possibly a correction to max rpm.

And a MAP sensor..........maybe a blow off valve.........need more traction, so some more studs...........some ChapStick because you will grinning every time you hit the throttle

Do you think you could have waited to disclose all that until he popped for the tune!!
Come on, Rich!!!
